The Sign of the Midnight Hour
In the parable of “the five wise and the five
foolish virgins,” Jesus likened Himself to a Bridegroom who arrived later than
was expected.
While the Bridegroom tarried,
they all slumbered and slept.
And at midnight there was a
cry made, Behold, the Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet Him.
Matthew 25:5-6 KJV
Thus, does the Lord present Himself as returning in
the Midnight Hour.
Prophetically speaking, one of the strangest coincidences
of historic timing that ever occurred was at the close of the First World War
(WWI). Those engaged in that desperate conflict took no time to plan such
things—but it all happened that way providentially as “signs
of the end and of the Lord’s Coming.”
World War I ended at Eleven
O’ Clock on the morning of November 11, 1918 which was the Eleventh Hour of the Eleventh Day of
the Eleventh Month, just Eleven Months after Allenby entered Jerusalem on the
11th Day of December 1917.
Did all these chain of events happen as coincidence
or were they providential?
The occupying of Jerusalem on the 11th of December 1917 by the British, and the making
of Palestine a homeland for the Jews was the most outstanding prophetic
fulfillment of that war.
What does this mean?
This prophetically signified that the world had
entered the Eleventh
Hour of its history in God’s Prophetic Clock. It signifies
that “the Midnight Hour” when the
Appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ at the Rapture would come was not far off!
